  1. 'The substitutes made the difference'published at 17:00 BST 15 August

    FT: Middlesbrough 2-1 Lincoln

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Radio Tees

    Lincoln City had a good ploy and we wondered if they would they last and they didn't.

    I think the substitutes made the difference. They were top draw. Well played to the management team for getting that right and to the players.

    I'm delighted for the boys. It was important to get off to a good start and it's onto Blackburn now.

    Charlton 2-1 Derby

    Charlton make a second half comeback to send the Valley into a frenzy.

    Karlan Grant made his comeback to the Valley a good one as he put in a great cross following a free-kick that had pinpoint accuracy to the find the head of Lloyd Jones.

    Tyreece Campbell then fired in a second after evading the swarming Derby players and though the Rams piled on the pressure as the game came to a close, they couldn't get past Charlton's defence.

    Takeover collapsed, out the EFL Cup and now off to a losing start in the Championship. A tough time to be a Derby fan.

  3. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:58 BST 15 August

    Stoke 1-2 Swansea

    Adam Idah makes an immediate impact to ensure all three points for Swansea.

    The Republic of Ireland international had only been on the pitch for one minute and slotted his first touch into the net to give Swansea the lead.

    Charlton 2-1 Derby

    Derby are pushing for that equaliser.

    Carlton Morris can't quite get enough on his first strike to it send home, while a deflection denies his second attempt.

    Morris is fired up. Can he be the difference-maker?

  5. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:55 BST 15 August

    Norwich 1-2 West Brom

    West Brom hold on for all three points in an excellent game at Carrow Road.

    Having dominated for much of the contest, Norwich fell behind to a controversial opener from Aune Heggebo, who appeared to turn into the net with his arm from Jimmy-Jay Morgan's cross in the 75th minute.

    Morgan turned from provider to goalscorer 12 minutes later, weaving into the box before thumping a clinical finish into the bottom corner to double Albion's lead.

    Mathias Kvistgaarden pulled one back in stoppage time for the Canaries with a headed effort on the rebound, but the Baggies have seen the job through.

    An excellent result for James Morrison's side.

  6. FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:54 BST 15 August

    Bristol City 0-2 Millwall

    A perfect start to the new campaign for Millwall against 10-men Bristol City. A far from ideal start for new Robins boss Michael Skubala.

    Josh Coburn is the star of the show for the Lions, grabbing both goals after Adam Randell was shown a second yellow in the first half for pulling back the tall striker.

    Millwall, in truth, could have won by a bigger margin but it's job done for Alex Neil and his side.

    That journey back to south London will be an enjoyable one for sure.

    Will Lankshear's late, late winner gives Boro an opening day win over Lincoln.

    The Imps, in their first second tier game for 65 years, led at the break through Adam Reach's goal but just could not hold out.

    It's a first league defeat for them since 22 November.

  8. 'Heartbreak for Lincoln City'published at 16:53 BST 15 August

    That's heartbreak for Lincoln City.

    They're looking for one ball, they need to get it into the mixer.

  9. 'Lankshear is an old fashioned centre-forward'published at 16:52 BST 15 August

    Middlesbrough 2-1 Lincoln

    Neil Maddison
    Former Middlesbrough midfielder on BBC Radio Tees

    There's Will Lankshear, one touch, there you go, 2-1 up.

    It's really good.

    It was the skill from Riley McGree that sets it all off, but Lankshear's run...

    He's an old fashioned centre-forward who knows where the ball is in the box.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:51 BST 15 August

    Middlesbrough 2-1 Lincoln

    Alfie Jones is on for Morgan Whittaker to see this over the line.

  11. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:51 BST 15 August

    Charlton 2-1 Derby

    Carlton Morris is aggrieved after he feels his shirt is pulled in the box but the referee waves away any thoughts of a late penalty.

    Time running low for the Rams.

    Can West Brom hold on? What a game this has been.

    That man again!

    Superb play by Riley McGree down the Boro right and Will Lankshear gets across the near post to turn in from a couple of yards out.

    Heartbreaking for Lincoln.

  15. 'It's manic football at the moment'published at 16:49 BST 15 August

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Lincoln

    Michael Hortin
    Sports Editor, BBC Radio Lincolnshire

    Nervous moments for Middlesbrough after all the defending Lincoln City had to do.

    It's manic football at the moment.

    There's plenty of pride in this performance but it's the points that Lincoln City will want/

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:49 BST 15 August

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Lincoln

    Lincoln sub Isaac Olaofe is booked for a meaty challenge.

    GOAL: Norwich 1-2 West Brompublished at 16:48 BST 15 August

    Mathias Kvistgaarden (90+1 mins)

    Hang on...

    Mathias Kvistgaarden has come off the bench for Norwich to set up a tense finale at Carrow Road.

    Jacob Wright's effort is beaten out by Max O'Leary but Kvistgaarden is there first to head home the rebound.

  18. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:48 BST 15 August

    Bristol City 0-2 Millwall

    Kyrell Lisbie thinks he has a goal on his Championship debut for Millwall but it's ruled out for offside.

    Fellow league debutant Lyndon Dykes forces it towards goal and it appears to be going in anyway but Lisbie makes sure.

    And that's what has cost the Lions the goal.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:47 BST 15 August

    Middlesbrough 1-1 Lincoln

    The away side make a couple more changes.

    Tom Bayliss and Andrei Coubis are on.

    It just bounces too high in front of Myles Peart-Harris.
